Hi everyone, I’m addressing y’all because I couldn’t find a single viable option for this issue. Before I start, I’d like to mention that I’m french so I cannot really use any technical words there, I hope it’ll still be understandable…
I have a personnal computer. It is not from work or anything, and it’s been working fine for the past three years. Yesterday, I noticed Google Chrome wasn’t using google anymore, it was using bing as a search motor. I thought “shit, i might’ve downloaded a shitty extension again” so I went to delete it, but surprise as I arrived there. I found an extension that I never downloaded of course, called “YourSearchBar”, but could not delete it, as it was “managed by my organisation”, which is odd because I do not HAVE any organisation that is supposed to have control over this computer.
I searched for this issue on the internet and I was able to find a solution, which was to go into regedit and delete a specific key, and that seemed to work, I also deleted any program I thought was suspicious or unknown to me from my computer. It worked, until this morning I open my computer again to see the same damn problem ! And now I have NO WAY to delete keys in regedit again ! I tried modifying autorisations on those keys, I noticed they did not have a value as well and read something about them needing to have one for me to edit them, but I have no idea how should I fix this and I’d like to not screw up my computer.
So there I am, if anyone has an idea please, please help me. Have a great day, thanks for reading
You could try backing up your bookmarks and whatever other settings from chrome you want to keep and then reset chrome back to the defaults.

Thank you I’ll check that :)
Okay I checked it and it says it doesn’t delete policies, which is what is causing the issue : There is a policy on my chrome that doesn’t want to go, even if I try deleting it manually in regedit
